    Matthew 13:31-32 - Small Seed, Incredible Potential - Part 13 Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 12, 2011
    based on 67 ratings
     | 26,507 views

    It was no ordinary seed. It was a seed of destiny, a seed of promise, a seed of kingdom significance, the seed of the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

    Matthew 13:31-32 - SMALL SEED, INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL - Part 13. When I read the Parable of the Mustard seed I am left with some serious questions. Jesus just tells the story in two sentences and leaves it at that. No explanation. He just says "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in ...read more

    Matthew 13:47-50 – Political Correctness And Hell - Part 18 Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Apr 23, 2011
    based on 45 ratings
     | 7,998 views

    It is cast over men and women, married and single, young and old, hearing and deaf, sighted and blind, speaking and mute (For those who want to be POLITICALLY CORRECT that's matrimonially, chronologically, aurally, visually and vocally challenged)...

    Matthew 13:47-50 – POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND HELL - Part 18 My starsign is Pisces (the FISH). I don't read the stars so relax, but it has always interested me that the sign of the fish was used by early Christians as a secret symbol. During times of persecution, if a Christian met a stranger ...read more

    Matthew 13:51-52 - HOW TO BE A HOMEOWNER WITH A NEST EGG - Part 20 A shed full of every resource I could ever need, wealth beyond belief, an incredible mansion.

    Part 7 - Matthew 9:18-26 - The Desperate Cry Of My Faith! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 25, 2010
    based on 15 ratings
     | 16,896 views

    It wasn’t the faith of this little girl that moved Jesus to come. It was the faith of a father in desperation, crying out to Jesus. Nothing is more powerful than the desperation of a father for his child. THERE IS ALWAYS A DESPERATE ASPECT TO FAITH.

    Part 7 - Matthew 9:18-26 - THE DESPERATE CRY OF MY FAITH! I’ve conducted funerals. I know the kind of grief that hangs in the air with anticipation like storm clouds ready to flood the earth with rain. I know the kind of grief which needs to be expressed in tears and in saying goodbye. Yes, I know ...read more

    No-one is beyond hope. No-one is beyond reach. No-one is beyond compassion.

    Part 11 - Matthew 9:32-38 - THAT'S WHEN MIRACLES HAPPEN! I've been reading a book by Francine Rivers lately about an old woman called Leota who loves the Lord and has an amazing impact upon the lives of other people in her life, yet is rejected and hated by her own daughter, Eleanor. Throughout ...read more

    Part 7 - Matthew 10:5-8 - How To Defeat Your Dragon! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 6, 2010
    based on 27 ratings
     | 6,511 views

    Forgive me for the analogy but it seems to me that the world is into trying to TAME THE DRAGON too. Jesus, the Son of God, on the other hand, is into DEFEATING THE DRAGON.

    Part 7 - Matthew 10:5-8 - HOW TO DEFEAT YOUR DRAGON! We have been waiting for the movie called "HOW TO TAME YOUR DRAGON" to come out in the cinemas. It is a kids movie about Vikings and dragons. The amount of advertising saying that it was coming was phenomenal. Talk about good marketing! Their ...read more

    Part 1 - Matthew 11:2-6 - Jesus-In-A-Box! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 29, 2010
    based on 50 ratings
     | 7,624 views

    My grandchildren sometimes play with a Jack-in-a-box. Sometimes we want a JESUS-IN-A-BOX too. We want Him to fit into our pre-conceived ideas of who He should be and how He should act.

    Part 1 - Matthew 11:2-6 - JESUS-IN-A-BOX! I get the privilege and opportunity to speak to many old people in the course of my day. Being a chaplain and Pastor in an aged care facility (fancy name for old people’s nursing home) I am fascinated by the amazing lives that they have led. Last week I ...read more

    Part 2 – Matthew 11:7-10 – Wrestles With Crocodiles! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 1, 2010
    based on 19 ratings
     | 4,880 views

    While Kevin Costner starred in a movie called DANCES WITH WOLVES, Steve Irwin was wrestling with crocodiles in real life. I’m sure WRESTLES WITH CROCODILES is his Indian name or at least needs to be. John the Baptist has his own crocodiles to wrestle.

    Part 2 – Matthew 11:7-10 – WRESTLES WITH CROCODILES! He was nicknamed “THE CROCODILE HUNTER”, and he was a unique man with a smile as wide as fun itself and Australian to the core. You couldn’t help but remember STEVE IRWIN! He and his wife Terri owned and operated ...read more

    Matthew 3:13-17 The Baptism of the One who didn't need it

    Matthew 3:13-17 The Baptism of Jesus Sermon notes Baptism. Today we are going to talk about baptism. Actually, we started talking about baptism last week when we looked at Matt 3:1-12.

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 11, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,706 views

    How can John the Baptist be Elijah the prophet? Reincarnation? Malachi 4:5 (NLT) gives a prophecy about Elijah. It says "Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives."

    Part 5 - Matthew 11:13-14 - IN A PREVIOUS LIFE I WAS A DOLPHIN? I asked some friends what they thought about REINCARNATION last night and got some funny responses - should have known. One of them said "once, in a previous life, I was a dolphin... lol jk." Another one said "It’s weird to think you ...read more

    Part 7 - Matthew 11:20-24 - Slow Cooked Or Char Grilled? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 18, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 13,082 views

    Some things in the Bible are just plain difficult to understand. Matthew 11:20-24 is one of them for me. I know, I don’t have to understand everything in God’s Word in order to believe it because I trust in God who knows what He is doing.

    Part 7 - Matthew 11:20-24 - SLOW COOKED OR CHAR GRILLED? Are there degrees of hell? I asked my friends recently this question and one of them said, "I believe Hell is a place where the presence of God and Jesus does not exist so it must be a horrible place. However, if there is any fairness to ...read more

    Matthew 5 - Part 1 - Woodstock Without The Drugs, Sex And Rock And Roll? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 18, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,697 views

    What was "Woodstock"? It was a Rock music festival that took place in America in 1969. It was characterized by drugs, sex and rock music. When Jesus drew a crowd, he didn’t have to rely on those things. Large crowds followed Him everywhere He went.

    Matthew 5 - Part 2 - What Do You Mean Bankruptsy Is Ok? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 20, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,606 views

    Who are the "poor in spirit"? Are they rich people with a poverty mentality? Are they poor people who are discouraged? Are they people who don’t have the strength of mind to make it in the world and Jesus wants to take them out?

    Matthew 5 - Part 2 - So all of a sudden Bankruptsy is OK? When we lived in the Ukraine for a month, we witnessed incredible poverty. The beautifully ornate Churches over there have domes which are actually covered in gold leaf, but under them are the beggars. Such a contrast. I noticed at one ...read more

    Matthew 5 - Part 9 - Ever Been Criticised And Abused For Being A Christian? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 29, 2009
    based on 12 ratings
     | 4,375 views

    Unfortunately for many Christians, compromise is easier than being criticised and no-one would ever know that they are Christians, or if they do know, they are disappointed by the kind of example that is given.

    Matthew 5 - Part 8 - Have you ever been criticised and abused for being a Christian? One of my jobs some years ago was working with disabled people. I remember working with a young Christian woman and my job was teaching her how to read. She would readily share her faith to others and I enjoyed ...read more

    Matthew 5 - Part 10 - Too Much Salt Is Bad For Your Health! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 30, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,722 views

    Too much salt is bad for you! Christians are like salt. The world can only take us in small doses. The Bible says it’s not that too much salt is bad for you but that salt mixed with too much dirt loses it’s flavour and is of no use.

    Matthew 5 - Part 10 - Too much salt is bad for your health! I use a saline solution for my contact lenses. It has the same salty consistency as my tears have. Without it I could not clean my lenses and putting them in would be difficult. I’m told that too much salt is bad for you. The Bible says ...read more
